Usage

Starting at ArcGIS Pro 1.4, mosaic datasets created in Oracle, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server geodatabases will be created with the new RASTER_STORAGE keyword called RASTERBLOB. The RASTERBLOB keyword implements an efficient transfer of the mosaic dataset catalog items to the DBMS.

Mosaic datasets created with RASTERBLOB cannot be opened with earlier versions of the software. If you want to create mosaic datasets that are backward compatible with earlier versions, you will need to alter the configuration keyword for RASTER_STORAGE to one of the following compatible keywords:

BINARY for PostgreSQL and SQL Server

BLOB for Oracle.

The name of the mosaic dataset must stay within the limits of the geodatabase or underlying database; for example, the name cannot start with a number.

Workspace

in_mosaicdataset_name

The name of the mosaic dataset you are creating.

String

coordinate_system

The coordinate system for all of the items in the mosaic dataset.

Coordinate System

num_bands

(Optional)

The number of bands the raster datasets will have in the mosaic dataset.

Long

pixel_type

(Optional)

Set the bit depth, or radiometric resolution, of the mosaic dataset. If not defined, it will be taken from the first raster dataset.

1_BIT —A 1-bit unsigned integer. The values can be 0 or 1.

2_BIT —A 2-bit unsigned integer. The values supported can be from 0 to 3.

4_BIT —A 4-bit unsigned integer. The values supported can be from 0 to 15.

8_BIT_UNSIGNED —An unsigned 8-bit data type. The values supported can be from 0 to 255.

8_BIT_SIGNED —A signed 8-bit data type. The values supported can be from -128 to 127.
